corto.alto
List Pick
April 1, 2026
'WHODIS' positions corto.alto as a growing staple in the game, anchored by a feature from Mick Jenkins. The Mercury Prize-winning Scottish artist, producer and multi-instrumentalist Liam Shortall moves fluidly between jazz and hip-hop, creating a sound that feels both instinctive and deliberate. The track leans into a loose, off-grid groove, giving it a natural swing that never feels forced. Mick Jenkins’ flow sits comfortably within that pocket, measured, grounded, and precise - layering seamlessly. The production stays understated throughout, allowing the rhythm to carry the track, until the final stretch where corto.alto’s jazz roots surface more clearly. His signature horn textures drift in subtly, adding warmth and depth without disrupting the track’s steady, controlled mood. 'WHODIS' lands like a quiet flex (new sound, who dis?) as corto.alto allows the music introduce who he’s becoming.
